Capillary-Diffusion And Self-Diffusion Of Liquid Water In Unsaturated Soils, Ronald E. Phillips, V. L. Quisenberry Jr. Dec 1971

Capillary-Diffusion And Self-Diffusion Of Liquid Water In Unsaturated Soils, Ronald E. Phillips, V. L. Quisenberry Jr.

KWRRI Research Reports

Capillary-diffusion coefficients were measured by use of inflow and outflow methods. With both methods the capillary-diffusion coefficients decreased very rapidly with decreasing water content. The lighter textured soils were found to have the higher diffusion coefficients over the entire moisture content range studied, 0 to 1 bar tension.

Self-diffusion coefficients were measured over a moisture content range from air dryness to saturation using 3H as a tracer of water. Each of the soils gave the same diffusion characteristics when the self-diffusion coefficients were expressed as a function of either water content or average number of water layers on the …

Precambrian Geology Of The Central Nacimiento Mountains, Sandoval County, New Mexico, Kent Richard Reed Oct 1971

Precambrian Geology Of The Central Nacimiento Mountains, Sandoval County, New Mexico, Kent Richard Reed

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The oldest Precambrian rocks in the area of study are represented by abundant inclusions and schlieren of horn­blendite, plagioclase-hornblende schist, and plagioclase-­hornblende-biotite schist. These inclusions are remnants of a pre-batholithic metamorphic terrane.

The next oldest, and dominant rock in the central Nacimiento Mountains is gneiss that ranges in composition from quartz monzonite to granodiorite. Where strongly sheared, the rock is microcline-biotite-quartz-plagioclase schist. Gradational zones of schist within the gneiss were mapped separately. The gneiss and the schist are cut by metamor­phosed spessartite dikes and by leucocratic dikes of various textures and compositions.

Intruding the gneiss in the southeastern part of …

Gravity Investigations Over A Salt Structure Near Lübbecke, Northern Germany, Reinhard K. Frohlich Oct 1971

Gravity Investigations Over A Salt Structure Near Lübbecke, Northern Germany, Reinhard K. Frohlich

Geosciences and Geological and Petroleum Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A detailed gravity survey was conducted parallel to the “Wiehengebirge” northwest of Minden in Northern Germany. The survey localized between Liibbecke and Levern a salt deposit, which is known as “Münder Mergel” salt of the Upper Jurassic. The salt deposit forms a cylindrical structure with an axis striking NWW. With a deep drill hole detailed interpretation was possible using the polygon method of TALWANI, WORZEL and LANDISMAN [1959], The section shapes of salt bodies under eight profiles show asymmetrical figures of two salt units. Both increase in thickness strongly to the northeast, where the salt is interrupted by a fault …

An Evaluation Of A Stable Isotope Of Dysprosium For Labeling And Tracing Sedimentary Particles, Charles Glenn Boone Oct 1971

An Evaluation Of A Stable Isotope Of Dysprosium For Labeling And Tracing Sedimentary Particles, Charles Glenn Boone

OES Theses and Dissertations

An evaluation of the application of dysprosium oxide as a tracer coating to surface label sedimentary particles is made. Physical and chemical properties of the labeled sand are studied. Effective diameters and settling properties of the tracer sand are compared with unlabeled sand. A total of 8.51 kg of labeled sand was placed on the beach at Camp Pendleton. Dispersal patterns obtained 1 and 4 hours after tracer injection indicate a general down current mean tracer migration rate of 0.21 cm/sec (0.42ft/sec). An absolute detection limit of 4 or 5 parts per 100,000 and a real detection limit, after field …

Geology Of The Rammel Mountain Area, Teton County, Wyoming, David W. Love Jul 1971

Geology Of The Rammel Mountain Area, Teton County, Wyoming, David W. Love

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The Rammel Mountain area, on the west side of the Teton Range, Wyoming, includes Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks; Paleozoic sandstone, shale, dolomite and limestone; and Cenozoic conglomerate, agglomerate and breccia, ash-flow tuffs and glacial deposits.

The Precambrian layered gneiss, granitic gneiss and migmatite have undergone at least two episodes of deformation and metamorphism in the sillimanite-cordierite-muscovite-almandine subfacies of the Abukuma-type facies series prior to the emplacement of quartz monzonite. Dia-base dikes, quartz-epidote and epidote veins transect these earlier rocks.

The Cambrian-Mississippian shelf-facies rocks were folded, faulted and eroded to a plain in Late Cretaceous time and were buried by …


Surface Observations, Ground Truth And Data : Nasa-Usgs Mission 144 : Chesapeake Bay Region, Sept. 22-30, 1970, Maynard M. Nichols Jul 1971

Surface Observations, Ground Truth And Data : Nasa-Usgs Mission 144 : Chesapeake Bay Region, Sept. 22-30, 1970, Maynard M. Nichols

Reports

Surface observations of coastal waters and "ground. truth" data were obtained to aid interpretation and analyses of overflight photography and imagery. Among the broad objectives of the mission was to investigate the potential of high-altitude, multispectral photography as a tool for the improved planning necessary to cope with multidisciplinary problems within the coastal zone, specifically with regard to:

1. The inventory and evaluation of the central Atlantic coastal area natural resources;

2. The assessment of human and natural degradation of these resources;

3. The feasibility of monitoring resource allocation and management, including land use categories and the impact of urbanization …


Structure, Stratigraphy, And Ore Deposits Of The Central Nacimiento Mountains, New Mexico, William H. Kaufman Jul 1971

Structure, Stratigraphy, And Ore Deposits Of The Central Nacimiento Mountains, New Mexico, William H. Kaufman

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The mapped area is in Sandoval and Rio Arriba Counties, New Mexico, 3 mi southeast of Cuba and includes the eastern margin of the San Juan Basin and the western margin of the Nacimiento Mountains. The emphasis of this report is on the stratigraphy, structure, and ore deposits of this area.

The Precambrian quartz monzonite basement rock is non-conformably overlain by approximately 6000 ft of sedimentary rocks, which range in age from Pennsylvanian to Cretaceous. The Pennsylvanian Madera Formation is predominantly marine limestone and is overlain by the clastic Permian Abo and Yeso Formations. A maximum of 1050 ft of …

Arctic Ecology: A Decade Of Experience, John F. Schindler Jun 1971

Arctic Ecology: A Decade Of Experience, John F. Schindler

UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series

A quick glance at the title of this presentation and the reader braces himself for another antipollution or “save-the-sod” type of discourse that has become so popular these days. I do not wish to detract from the importance or the need for such efforts but I would like to address myself to the the broader meaning of the term.

Ecology--the word comes from the Greek root “oikos” which means house or household. What I’d like to do is to tell you about this “house” I’ve been living in for the past 10 years.


The Environmental Challenges Facing Taps, A. V. Cardin Jun 1971

The Environmental Challenges Facing Taps, A. V. Cardin

UMR Journal -- V. H. McNutt Colloquium Series

Before the potential benefits of the recent oil discoveries on the North Slope of Alaska can be realized, the oil must be transported to refining and marketing areas. The Alyeska Pipeline Service Company has the responsibility for the first step in this transportation—to design and construct the Trans Alaska Pipeline System. We will pipe the oil from the discovery areas near Prudhoe Bay to an ice-free, deep-sea tanker loading terminal at Valdez of the South Coast of Alaska. From Valdez the oil will be transported to the West Coast by tankers. This is the most feasible system of a number …
